The Effects Bullying Causes
Research shows that one in three boys and one in five girls self-reported the bulling they
went through. In addition, boys have higher rates of bullying than the girls did. Girls who are
bullied struggled in all subjects while boys who were bullied only struggled in reading
(Canterford, Kosola, Mund, 2017). Bullying can be a main cause for traumatic trauma for
children who are bullied (Arseneault, Maughan, Takizawa, 2014). Three ways bullying can
negatively impact children there are lower self-esteem, physical health problems, and poor
academic performance.
Some children can have low self-esteem due to bullying. Self-esteem is a person’s
perspective on their self-worth which can be affected negatively. Children who have a higher
self-esteem are said to be bullies who tease others about who are weaker than them, because it is
easier to make weaker people feel sorry about themselves which makes bullies thrive (Engler,
2013). Children who are being bullied have lower self-esteem then students who are not being
bullied (Ercan, Hesapçioğlu, &Meraler, 2018). Found in research it has been found that self-
esteem and bullying are most related (Çetinkaya, Nur, Ayvaz, Özdemir, Kavakcı, 2009). It is
said that being bullied and having low self-esteem is a main cause in students disliking
themselves and thinking about suicide (Ercan et al., 2018). From this study it shows that children
who are being bullied are not confident in themselves (Şirvanlı-Özen, 2010).
, Bullying can negatively affect a child’s health. It was believed that a victim of bullying
would not cause health problems until the 1970s (Olweus & Limber, 2010). Bullying can lead
children into having stress which can cause health problems like headaches, bowel problems,
stomach aches, and dizziness (Grinshteyn& Yang, 2017). Most bullied victims end up with some
kind of personality disorder and females are most commonly known for getting personality
disorders (Antila et al., 2017). Peerbullying can lead children to have bipolar disorder,
depression, anxiety, and self-harm tendencies (Arsenault, 2017.Angold, Copeland, Costello,
Wolke, 2013). It is said that bullying can affect children into adult hood with suicidal ideations,
depression, social anxiety, as well as self-harm (Lydersen, Sigurdson, Sund,Undheim,
Wallander, 2015).
Academic performance can be affected when children undergo bullying. Reports from
studies has shown that children who are bullied or teased want less engagement in school and
after school activities (Cornell, Fan, Gregory, Mehta, 2013). It also has been shown that when
children have a negative impact at school that it is related with lower classroom engagement and
lower grades on math and reading tests (Cornell, Fan, Gregory, Mehta, 2013). Studies show in a
survey that one in five elementary school students were bullied. Bullying can cause children who
are victimized to have a higher number of days where students are absent from class (Shetgiri,
2017). Research asserts that students who are being bullied had a lower attendance and academic
performance then the students who were not being bullied. The research also shows that students
who were bullied got a lower grade in math classes as well (Shetgiri, 2017).
Bullying can negatively affect children by causing them to have self-esteem issues, health
problems, and academic problems. Bullying is something that makes a student have trouble
liking who they are. Another effect of bullying is it can make children suffer from health
